Hi All, Just a little word about a student on this list I was talking to today and how she attempted making the shortcuts I wrote about last week. I was delited to see that she had done it perfectly and deserves a round of applause fom all. Well done Maureen Murray, she is a great example of someone who tries and tries and succeeds. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Traynor Sent: 27 March 2006 08:53 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Creating a shortcut! Hi Owen, Yes, the shortcuts I have described are exactly the same no matter what screen access software you are using. These shortcuts described have nothing to do with the supernova or other access software but are totally windows related however they do make life a little easier for us.
